Embodiment
With reference to accompanying drawing, below describe in more detail according to the operation management system of networking gear of the present invention and the execution mode of method, and the execution mode that is used for the agency of equipment operation management.As networking gear, following execution mode relates to a plurality of air regulators that are connected to network with by way of example.Yet structure is not limited thereto, and general networking gear can be connected to network.In addition, though have only air regulator to be connected to network in the following embodiments, structure is not limited thereto, and can mix and connect various networking gears.
Before describing these execution modes, below provide the structure in general of the conventional operation management system (hereinafter, being called " equipment operation management system ") of networking gear, to describe the problem that this conventional equipment operation management system occurs.Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of the structure of conventional equipment operation management system.
As shown in Figure 1, management server is connected to three equipment (device A, B and C) that will communicate with one another via network.Management server comprises the operational management unit, this operational management unit by send to device A, B and C be used to obtain the request of these equipment running status, then determine from equipment in response to these request responding, manage these equipment running status.
In addition, management server comprises application interface unit, this application interface unit interface that acts at operational management unit and described communication between devices.In order to adapt to dissimilar equipment, this application interface unit comprises application programming interfaces (API)-A, API-B and API-C, comes to communicate by letter with device A, B and C respectively.That is, management server is communicated by letter with device A, B and C with API-C by API-A, API-B respectively.
The operational management unit of management server is connected to final accounts processor and operation service processor.The final accounts processor is carried out according to the operational management unit result how management equipment is moved, and the final accounts that described equipment carry out operational management are handled.The operation service processor is carried out the service that is used for management equipment.
On the other hand, device A comprises the device A interface unit, and it has the API-a via network and management server communication.Similarly, equipment B comprises the equipment B interface unit, and it has the API-b via network and management server communication, and equipment C comprises equipment C interface unit, and it has the API-c via network and management server communication.
Like this, its application interface unit of Routine Management server requirement has the API that the feature (for example device type) according to described equipment changes.This has caused application interface unit irrelevantly to have the problem of labyrinth.That is, for the operation of management equipment, management server need send according to each API that uses in each equipment and different requests to each equipment to be managed.When management more equipment and these equipment had the various features of device type for example, it is serious that this problem becomes.
In the conventional equipment operation management system of representing in Fig. 1, the management server side is initiated the management to equipment.In other words, the operational management unit of management server sends the request that is used to obtain these equipment running status to described equipment, makes management server carry out central management to the running status that sends from these equipment in response to described request.Therefore, when management server had the processing load of increase and manages more equipment, this problem became more serious.
In addition, even management server also needs to send request and receive response from described equipment to described equipment termly when operation troubles not occurring in described equipment.This causes the increase of the traffic mobile on the network, and becomes more serious problem when the more equipment of management.
Developed the present invention to address these problems, the objective of the invention is to eliminate the needs of the structure of the application interface unit that changes management server, reduce the processing load of management server in the management equipment running, even and under the situation of the more equipment of management, also reduce the traffic that in the management equipment running, flows on the network.
With reference to Fig. 2 to 9, below describe according to the embodiment of the present invention.Structure according to the equipment operation management system of execution mode at first, is briefly described.Fig. 2 is the schematic diagram according to the structure in general of the equipment operation management system of this execution mode.This comprises the network configuration of equipment operation management system.In the following embodiments, the management project of equipment to be managed refers to be used for the project of management equipment fault, for example fault in its operation and malfunctioning.
As shown in Figure 2, the S of equipment operation management system is configured to: management server 100 is connected to three air regulators 300 (air regulator A, B and C) that will communicate with one another via network N.Management server 100 comprises proxy management unit 101, it is by collecting Trouble Report from air regulator 300 (air regulator A, B and C), and for example show Trouble Report tabulation, the running status of managing described air regulator by operational management person to the S of equipment operation management system.Proxy management unit 101 is equipped with application software therein, and this software has been realized the demonstration to the malfunctioning or error listing that occurs in air regulator 300.
Management server 100 also comprises the application interface unit 103 as interface, communicates between proxy management unit 101 and air regulator 300 by this interface.Application interface unit 103 comprises and is used for the API 103a that communicates by letter with each air regulator 300 that each air regulator 300 all uses identical API (being standard A PI unit) to communicate by letter with management server 100.Because management server 100 is communicated by letter with each air regulator 300 by each air regulator 300 standard A PI unit 203 separately, so the single API 103a of 100 needs of management server.Here " interface " speech is the basic conception that comprises API and agreement.
The proxy management unit 101 of management server 100 is connected to final accounts processor 102, and the result how this final accounts processor 102 manages the operation of air regulator 300 according to proxy management unit 101 carries out the final accounts of the operational management that is used for air regulator 300 and handles.
On the other hand, each air regulator 300 (air regulator A, B and C) comprises equipment operation management agency 200, and this equipment operation management agency 200 manages the operation of corresponding air regulator 300 independently.Equipment operation management agency 200 inherent functions according to air regulator 300, independently acquisition of information is determined the state of air regulator 300, and carries out the necessary processing of the described operation of management.In this way, equipment operation management agency 200 is as the agency, and it manages the operation of air regulator 300, and operation as far as possible independently.Equipment operation management agency 200 also is used for receiving request from management server 100, and provides response according to the content of request.
